Visitor Policy:

Although we welcome your visitors, we do limit the number of cars each camper may bring onto the campground. If you are planning a gathering during your stay with us, please speak to one of the owners. All visitors park in our visitor lot and must check in at the Welcome Center. We do not charge for day visitors, but do charge if your visitors wish to utilize the pool. We also charge for overnight guests and extra cars.

Notice about Firewood and the Emerald Ash Borer

Just a friendly reminder that our policy still stands and will be enforced that there will be no outside firewood allowed to be brought into the campground. This is in a continued effort to prevent the Ash Borer Beetle from infesting our trees. Thank you for your support and cooperation.

To make sure you do not make the problem worse or put trees at risk, please buy your firewood locally at or near your camping destination. Most parks, including the Double J Campground, provide firewood for purchase, so take advantage of this service. Please make sure to burn all of your firewood on-site and do not leave any for other campers. Thank you for helping to preserve our forests and trees. You MAY NOT bring in firewood that has been harvested from area properties or pallets.

Forests are being threatened and you can help protect them. The emerald ash borer (EAB) is an exotic beetle that has killed millions of ash trees in the northern, central, and eastern regions of the US, including Illinois. The spread of EAB and other destructive forest pests has been directly related to the movement of wood products, especially firewood. Illinois is included in the federal EAB quarantine that restricts the movement of ash wood and hardwood firewood. More information about EAB and the quarantine can be found on the Internet.

Your site includes one car and one camper or tent; 2 adults, and 3 children under 18. The site selected is long enough for your camper and vehicle in line.

NO driving or parking on the grass or adjacent sites.

CAMPGROUND SPEED LIMIT 5 MPH

Mats permitted on gravel only.

Garbage should be placed in the bagged, tied, and placed into dumpsters near the Welcome Center.

All vehicles in campground must display a parking pass. Vehicles not displaying a pass in the windshield may be removed from the property.

When visitors arrive, they must check-in at registration, receive a visitor pass and parking instructions. We do not charge for day visitors. Visitors should leave by 9:00pm. We reserve the right to limit visitors. Overnight visitors are charged a fee. Visitors must park in visitors parking in front of the campground unless instructed otherwise.

Registered Campers with extra vehicles must park the extra vehicle in the spot defined when checking in. A motorcycle or trailer of any type is considered an extra vehicle and may only be kept on site if space permits parking on the gravel. Parking on the grass is not permitted; parking on open sites is not permitted.

Pets must be attended and leashed at all times when outside the RV. Please walk dogs in one of the three dog walk areas. There are receptacles for doggy waste bags in these areas. Dogs may not run free in the back fields or anywhere else on the premises.

Absolutely every swimmer in the pool must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or older.
